o The principal of operation is simple. An MCB functions by interrupting

the continuity of electrical flow through the circuit once a fault is
detected. In simple terms MCB is a switch which automatically turns of
when the current flowing through it passes the maximum allowable
limit. Generally MCB are designed to protect against over current and
over temperature faults (over heating).
o There are two contacts one is fixed and the other moveable. When the
current exceeds the predefined limit a solenoid forces the moveable
contact to open (i.e., disconnect from the fixed contact) and the MCB
turns of thereby stopping the current to flow in the circuit. In order to
restart the flow of current the MCB is manually turned on. This
mechanism is used to protect from the faults arising due to over
current or over load.
o To protect against fault arising due to over heating or increase in
temperature a bi-metallic strip is used. MCBs are generally designed to
trip within 2.5 millisecond when an over current fault arises. In case of
temperature rise or over heating it may take 2 seconds to 2 minutes
for the MCB to trip.

o This exegesis covers the insight of a single pole MCB commonly used in
the house hold. The following image shows the diferent internal parts
of an MCB with top casing removed.
o Prinsip operasi sederhana. Sebuah fungsi MCB karena mengganggu
kelangsungan aliran listrik melalui rangkaian sekali kesalahan
terdeteksi. Dalam istilah sederhana MCB adalah switch yang secara
otomatis mematikan ketika arus mengalir melalui itu melewati batas
maksimum yang diijinkan. Umumnya MCB dirancang untuk melindungi
terhadap arus lebih dan lebih kesalahan suhu (over heating).
o Ada dua kontak satu adalah tetap dan bergerak lainnya. Ketika arus
melebihi batas yang telah ditetapkan solenoid memaksa kontak
bergerak untuk membuka (yaitu, lepaskan dari kontak tetap) dan MCB
mati sehingga menghentikan arus mengalir dalam rangkaian. Untuk
me-restart aliran arus MCB secara manual diaktifkan. Mekanisme ini
digunakan untuk melindungi dari kesalahan yang timbul karena arus
lebih atau lebih dari beban.
o Untuk melindungi terhadap kesalahan yang timbul karena over
pemanasan atau peningkatan suhu strip bi-logam yang digunakan.
MCB umumnya dirancang untuk perjalanan dalam 2,5 milidetik ketika
lebih dari arus gangguan muncul. Dalam kasus kenaikan suhu atau
lebih dari pemanasan mungkin diperlukan 2 detik sampai 2 menit
untuk MCB untuk perjalanan.

digunakan dalam terus rumah. Gambar berikut menunjukkan bagianbagian internal yang berbeda dari sebuah MCB dengan casing atas
